Can BizTalk R2 handle receiving EDIFACT messages without UNA, UNB or UNZ?

Hi all,

I’m trying to receive the following EDIFACT message in BizTalk R2 Beta2. I receive the following message from a LOB-application:

UNH+4518800+ORDERSBig Smile:93A:UN:EAN007'BGM+220::9+1219035+9+NA'DTM+137:070420:101'NAD+BY+99999999999::91++CustomerSurpriseS:Address++OS++09+NO'CTA+OC+1931:Buyer'NAD+DP+1::9++CustomerSurpriseS:Address++OS++09+NO'NAD+II+4528::9++Vendor A::Address++OS++03+NO'NAD+IV+1::9++Customer::Address++OS++0903+NO'NAD+SU+9999999999999::9++Company A::Address++OS++03+NO'CTA+SU+Surpriselsen'TAX+7+VAT+++:::25'CUX+2:NOK:9'PAT+1+84+5:3Big Smile:30'PAT+22+84+5:3Big Smile'TDT+20++30+++SB'TOD+6++FOB'LIN+1'PIA+5+000503:BP'MEA+EGW+AAD:3+KGM:0.34'QTY+21:20:EA'DTM+2:070430:101'MOA+203:596'FTX+PAC+1++1219035'UNS+S'MOA+86:596'CNT+2:1'UNT+27+4518800'However, my challenge is that BizTalk doesn’t seem to accept my input message without an Edifact- Interchange envelope (UNA, UNB and UNZ-segments). Is there some way to make BizTalk understand my Edifact message or do I have to develop a custom pipeline-component to add the“missing” segments?brgdsHans Erik

BizTalk R2 cannot accept a message without UNB/UNZ. UNA and UNG/UNH is optional. So yes you would have to add atleast UNB header and UNZ trailer for this message to be accepted.

Thanks
